The late Barton Biggs was as familiar a figure in the
investment world as John Bogle, Warren Buffett, George Soros, or
Mario Gabelli. He spent thirty years as a senior partner at Morgan
Stanley, during which time he formed Morgan Stanley's #1-ranked
research department, built its investment management business, was
chairman of the investment management firm, and then became the
firm's leading global strategist. After Morgan Stanley merged with
Dean Witter in 1996, Biggs was a member of the five-man executive
committee that ran the firm. In 2003, Biggs left Morgan Stanley
and, with two other partners, formed Traxis Partners, a
multibillion-dollar hedge fund. Biggs was named by Institutional
Investor magazine to its "All-America Research Team" ten times,
spoke frequently at forums around the globe, and appeared on CNBC
and other programs on more than 300 occasions.

In Diary of a Hedgehog: Biggs' Final Words on the Markets, the author shares his insights into why the markets remain at this low level and offers his theories for the future. Drawn from his actual diary of recent events in this time of economic turbulence—written in the heat of the moment, not retroactively—this book addresses the downward economic spiral we have landed in within the last year and reveals Biggs' gut feelings on where we are headed.

"Understanding the effect of emotion on your actions has never been more important than it is now," wrote Biggs. "In the midst of this great financial and economic crisis that grips the world, central banks are printing money in one form or another. This makes our investment world even more prone to bubbles and panics than it has been in the past. Either plague can kill you." But while offering dire warnings such as this, Biggs also provides readers with key advice on how to protect their assets and survive even the worst of times.

With keen insight, global experience, and informed opinions on investing, this book showcases Biggs at his best, offering readers the inside scoop into what's happening and where we go from here.
